Queensland Flood Animal Appeal

Sydney Pet Rescue & Adoption, has launched the Animal Flood Victims Emergency Appeal, and together with various other rescue groups, they are working hard to raise funds to support animals affected by the recent devastating floods in Qld. The Wildlife Protection Association of Australia is one of the organisations they have chosen to support with the Appeal. We will be using the funds they raise to support foster carers in the worst affected and priority areas, with financial support to assist with the rescue and foster care of wildlife. ……….We thank SPRA and all the rescue groups who are working hard with them, for their support…..

A Flying Fox in care!

The Much-Maligned Flying Foxes

Apart from kangaroos, the Flying Fox is one of the most persecuted animals in Australia. Blamed for destroying fruit farmers profits, spreading disease, and some residents living close to flying fox camps complain regularly of the smell. In fact flying foxes are none of these things.

Flying foxes are essential polinators of night-flowering rainforest trees, and without them, our forests would be a much poorer place. Loss of habitat has forced flying fox camps closer to residential areas, and houses are being built closer and closer to the camps in the mangroves. All flying fox species populations are believed to be crashing in numbers, mainly through loss of habitat and harassment.
